The Little One has always been a very curious child, and lately, seems to be asking questions I have absoutely no answer for.
"Why are there nine judges in the Supreme Court?"
Seriously. Hand to God, she asked me this. (She's NINE, by the way.)
I started in, "Well, there needs to be an uneven number so there are no ties when they vote on an issue." Pretty good answer for 7:38 AM, I thought.
"Then why not 5, or 7 or 11?"
"Because 9 is the magic number?"
Next question: "How do birds walk on their legs? They have great big bodies and tiny stick legs."
I had no answer for this one.
Google, anyone?
